Abstract
Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) have found a lot of promising applications in aquatic environments, i.e., sea, lakes, rivers, etc. They can be used for applications of paramount importance, such as environmental monitoring of water resources, and for bathymetry to study the characteristics of the basing of a lake/sea or for surveillance in patrol missions, among others. These vehicles can be built with smaller dimensions when compared to regular ships since they do not need an on-board crew for operation. However, they do require at least a telemetry control as well as certain intelligence for making decisions and responding to changing scenarios.
